A drastic, without-notice order allowing the applicant's legal representatives (with a 'supervising solicitor') to enter the respondent's premises to search for, copy, and remove documents or items that are evidence of assets. It is used where there is a real risk that evidence may be destroyed or hidden. Strict safeguards protect the respondent's rights, including the right to take legal advice and to claim privilege.
In Plain English
A powerful order that lets a legal team enter someone's home or office to find and copy evidence they think is being hidden. It is very rare and only used if there is a big risk that important documents will be destroyed.
